Re: yp-z5

I have the same issue where my pc won't recognise my mp3, or only occassionally does, and then locks up. The problem with media player is it eats up so much memory while trying to synch files / delete / add etc and brings your pc to a grinding halt.
So the solution I'm told is the MS Synch Tool, download off MS site and use it rather than the player to switch your files. I'm trying it now.
Good luck.

Samsung Player Is No Longer Detected By Windows XP, Vista, Emodio Or Samsung Media Studio.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When your computer doesn't recognize your Samsung MP3 player, programs such as Samsung Media Studio (SMS), Emodio, Windows Media Player (10 or 11) do not allow you to transfer files to your player. In SMS and Emodio, the portable icon appears grayed out. In Windows Media Player, you are prompted to connect a device.Your PC may fail to recognize your player for a variety of reasons. To begin troubleshooting, scroll down, and then click the operating system your computer is currently running. -------------------------------------------------------------------------General Operating System Information-------------------------------------------------------------------------On Windows computers, Samsung MP3 players require at least Windows XP Service Pack 2. If you have an older operating system such as Windows 2000 or Windows 98, your computer won't recognize your player until youupgrade your PC to at least Windows XP Service Pack 2.If your PC is running Linux or MAC, it will not recognize some MP3players that support only MTP mode. However, it will recognize players that support UMS mode and list them as mass storage devices. The following Samsung MP3 players support UMS: YP-U1, YP-U2, YP-U3, YP-U4, YP-U5, and YP-S2. The following Samsung MP3 players support both MTP and UMS mode: YP-Z5 and YP-P3.Windows Vista may fail to detect you device if the player is not connected properly, Windows Media Player is not installed or has becomecorrupted, Vista is unable to install the MTP drivers, or the MTP patchis not installed.
You can check it out further by going to this website and entering the information about your playerhttp://www.samsung.com/us/support/#Please rate me.

you may have to reformat the MP3 player by clicking on the drive its listed under and right click and go to Format. Formatting is done with FAT, not NTFS. This will remove any games or other data on it too. Sometimes the reset thing might work. In general, anything you erase from it using a computer should erase off the MP3 player too.
